You can look at the available settings by going into &#8220;Settings&#8221; then &#8220;Wireless &amp; Networks&#8221;. Make sure that Wi-Fi is enabled in this screen and then tap on &#8220;Wi-Fi Settings&#8221;. On the next, tap the menu button on your phone and then tap on &#8220;Advanced&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In this screen, you should see three options, specifically:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When screen turns off,<\/li>\n<li>Never when plugged in,<\/li>\n<li>Never.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By default, &#8220;when screen turns off&#8221; is selected which means that when the screen turns off your Wi-Fi connection will also turn off kicking you back to a cellular data connection (be it 3G or 2G). This isn&#8217;t ideal as a typical Wi-Fi connection often uses less power to maintain a connection than a cellular connection. The easy way to change this is to select &#8220;never&#8221; and then exit back out of the screens back to your home screen. Then just leave your Wi-Fi enabled (i.e. don&#8217;t turn it off).<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I have found that my overnight battery life starting on a full charge has improved considerably with overnight battery discharge remaining in the single digit range (meaning I still have over 90% battery left). Your mileage may vary depending on factors such as distance from your Wi-Fi access point and number of background applications running but you should notice an improvement nonetheless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a quick tip for those of you with Android devices.
